In the 1970s the Swiss watchmaking industry was in crisis. The advent of quartz watches shifted the majority of watch production to Asia, with Swiss watchmakers preferring to continue production of traditional, mechanical timepieces. During the crisis, a Geneva watchmaker by the name of Raymond Weil decided to start his own luxury watch brand. 30 years and over 20 collections later, Peter Jackson is a proud retailer of an extensive range of these exquisite tickers.
Today we have chosen to highlight the three limited edition Raymond Weil timepieces, that are currently available for purchase on the Peter Jackson website.
Raymond Weil Maestro Frank Sinatra Limited Edition Automatic Strap Watch
An elegant and precise homage to the legendary actor, singer, director and producer. This watch captures “Ol’ Blue Eyes” archetypal character, evoking a sense of adoration for his lengthy and illustrious career.
Frank Sinatra Junior commented, saying; “Raymond Weil has steadfastly maintained this degree of excellence and in the centennial celebration of the birth of Frank Sinatra, I am proud to see my father’s name associated with this magnificent timepiece.”
The watch features a 39.5mm stainless steel case which houses a self-winding mechanism. The face has been designed to reflect some of the iconic features of Frank Sinatra. The index markers, hands and contour of the date window are an electric blue and sit against a silver dial backdrop. The caseback is transparent and boasts a special Centennial Insignia from the man himself. Whilst the twelve marker has been highlighted as the only Roman numeral, signifying Sinatra’s December 12th birthday. Only 1,212 pieces of this limited edition timepiece have been created and were made available for the first time in June this year.
Raymond Weil Freelancer Labrinth Special Edition Watch
Continuing the special connection between Raymond Weil and the music industry, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer Labrinth collaborated on this special design. Only 50 pieces have been made available worldwide.
A bespoke automatic mechanism sits inside the contemporary designed face. The dial features a unique 3D silver motif pattern, with the indexes having been inspired by music equalisers. The case is rose gold PVD plated bezel and crown, matching the dark brown leather strap.
